@Toeman, can you *really* accused the developers of a complex, long, and involved game like BG2 of being "lazy?" Sheesh. 
Clearly they were rushed. Others things were left out as well, like a conclusion to the quest involving Jan's heartthrob, or the absence of any "love interest" (pardon me while I smirk at the whole idea of a computerized love interest) except Anomen for the ladies. There's also a key in a dungeon that isn't needed, and various bits and pieces of a similar level that aren't resolved. It's amazing that BG2 is so bug-free, however, and so well done overall. Its complexity sets a standard for CRPGs that's going to be hard to meet, let alone beat.

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Well done overall: definitely.It's amazing that BG2 is so bug-free, however, and so well done overall.
